Is it possible there's some confusion here between X5 & E39 arms ? The layout is the same but the E39 arms are aluminium and I can imagine they're less tolerant to repeated changes than the steel arms on the X5.

FWIW, I'd have no qualms about changing the bushes again on an X5. The only thing to weigh up is the time saving of buying new arms with the bush already pressed in. If you're DIYing that could save you a lot of grief.
